The Construction of the Poughkeepsie Bridge
Some years ago, when the scheme of bridging the Hudson River at Anthony's Nose was a subject of frequent discussion, it was suggested by the Poughkeepsie newspapers that the physical, geographical and commercial advantages of their city made it the best point at which to locate the proposed crossing. The idea grew among the citizens, and through their efforts, the Legislature of 1871 was induced to grant a charter for its construction. In it was a clause prohibiting piers in the river.
